CISPR-CAS9 system is a recently developed gene editing method and its applied method, namely, engineered DNA-binding molecule-mediated chromatin immunoprecipitation (enChIP) is beneficial to identify specific nucleotides or proteins that specifically interact to the specific gene loci. In the current study, using these methods, we showed that distal enhancer of β1 adrenergic receptor gene Adrb1, whose transcription is induced upon adrenergic stimulation and whose gene product is important in the activation of brown fat, interacts with Adrb1 promoter via long-lange chromatin looping: deletion of E1 enhancer blunted β-AR induced gene transcription and higher order chromatin structure changes.
